Materials Data on Ta3Mn8Si by Materials Project
Abstract
Ta3Mn8Si crystallizes in the trigonal P3m1 space group. The structure is three-dimensional. there are three inequivalent Ta sites. In the first Ta site, Ta is bonded in a 3-coordinate geometry to one Ta, twelve Mn, and three equivalent Si atoms. The Ta–Ta bond length is 2.94 Å. There are a spread of Ta–Mn bond distances ranging from 2.73–2.80 Å. All Ta–Si bond lengths are 2.90 Å. In the second Ta site, Ta is bonded in a 12-coordinate geometry to four Ta and twelve Mn atoms. All Ta–Ta bond lengths are 2.97 Å. There are a spread of Ta–Mn bond distances ranging from 2.78–2.82 Å. In the third Ta site, Ta is bonded in a 1-coordinate geometry to three equivalent Ta, twelve Mn, and one Si atom. There are a spread of Ta–Mn bond distances ranging from 2.74–2.90 Å. The Ta–Si bond length is 2.79 Å. There are four inequivalent Mn sites. In the first Mn site, Mn is bonded to three equivalent Ta, six Mn, and three equivalent Si atoms to form MnTa3Mn6Si3 cuboctahedra that share corners with twelve MnTa4Mn6Si2 cuboctahedra, edges with six equivalent MnTa3Mn6Si3 cuboctahedra, and faces with twenty MnTa6Mn6 cuboctahedra. There are three shorter (2.37 Å) andmore »

There are two shorter (2.31 Å) and two longer (2.45 Å) Mn–Mn bond lengths. Both Mn–Si bond lengths are 2.78 Å. In the fourth Mn site, Mn is bonded to five Ta, six Mn, and one Si atom to form distorted MnTa5Mn6Si cuboctahedra that share corners with eighteen MnTa3Mn6Si3 cuboctahedra, edges with six MnTa5Mn6Si cuboctahedra, and faces with eighteen MnTa3Mn6Si3 cuboctahedra.
